Better Lonely

       Am
Do you know me the way you say you do?
          C
Or do you only know what you want to
         G                            F
When you slowly cut me up deep like a knife?
        Am
You are slowly taking over in my head
      C
A new coding, everything inside we said
      G                               F
I can only see myself through tainted eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
   Am
Be careful with what you say
C                          D
Every little word will resonate
   G                    F
No voice or reason to debate
     Am
I've never tried to pay
    C
But holding on only leads me to isolate
       G
But if everything is true 'bout what you say

[Chorus]
N.C.                  Am
Thеn maybe I'm better lonеly
                        C
I'm starting to think I am
                          G                               F
'Cause all you ever do is try to hurt me just because you can
                       Am
Tell me what you hate about me
                              C
The things that make me who I am
                             G                          F
Wonder if they're the reason everybody leaves me in the end

[Post-Chorus]
                 Am     C
Maybe I'm better lonely
                 G      F
Maybe I'm better lonely

[Verse 2]
       Am                                   C
Do you notice how soon my smile fades on my own lips
                                    G
When you put me on display with the focus?
                              F
You're bringing my flaws into light (Bring my flaws into light)
        Am                                          C
Can't revoke it, every blow is on my plate and they won't quit
                                   G
How can I be the one to blame from all this?
                              F
I let your thoughts take over mine (They're taking over mine)

[Pre-Chorus]
   Am
Be careful with what you say
C                          D
Every little word will resonate
   G                    F
No voice or reason to debate (no reason to debate)
     Am
I've never tried to pay
    C
But holding on only leads me to isolate
       G
But if everything is true 'bout what you say

[Chorus]
N.C.                  Am
Thеn maybe I'm better lonеly
                        C
I'm starting to think I am
                          G                               F
'Cause all you ever do is try to hurt me just because you can
                       Am
Tell me what you hate about me
                              C
The things that make me who I am
                             G                          F
Wonder if they're the reason everybody leaves me in the end

[Post-Chorus]
                 Am     C
Maybe I'm better lonely
                 G      F
Maybe I'm better lonely

[Bridge]
     Am                                   C
If I let go of everyone around me and I'm alone
                                  G
All is left is who I see in my shadow
                      F
Will I be happy or am I my own worst enemy?
     Am                                   C
If I let go of everyone around me and I'm alone
                                  G
All is left is who I see in my shadow
                      F              C  F
Will I be happy or am I my own worst enemy?


[Chorus]
N.C.                  Am
Thеn maybe I'm better lonеly
                        C
I'm starting to think I am
                          G                               F
'Cause all you ever do is try to hurt me just because you can
                       Am
Tell me what you hate about me
                              C
The things that make me who I am
                             G                          F
Wonder if they're the reason everybody leaves me in the end

[Post-Chorus]
                 Am     C
Maybe I'm better lonely
                 G      F
Maybe I'm better lonely
                 Am     C
Maybe I'm better lonely
                 G      F
Maybe I'm better lonely
